Rise to the Sun

A stunning novel about being brave enough to be true
to yourself, and learning to find joy even when times are unimaginably
dark.
Three days.


Two girls.


One life-changing music festival.


Toni is grieving the loss of her roadie father
and needing to figure out where her life will go from here - and
she's desperate to get back to loving music. Olivia is a hopeless
romantic whose heart has just taken a beating
(again) and is beginning to feel like she'll always be a square
peg in a round hole - but the Farmland Music and Arts Festival is
a chance to find a place where she fits.


The two collide and it feels like something like
kismet when a bond begins to form. But when something goes wrong
and the festival is sent into a panic, Olivia and Toni will find
that they need each other (and music) more than they ever imagined.






A joyous, Black girl rom-com about finding love and being true
to yourself

Explores the power of communal joy to bring people together,
